I.e., Digesta Iustiniani XXIII.2.43.6-9: Ulpianus libro primo ad legem Iuliam et Papiam. Digesta or Pandectae (in force 30 December 533 CE) is the name given by Emperor Justinian to the main part of his total codification of Roman law (Corpus Iuris Civilis). It is a compilation of passages collected from the legal commentaries and rulings of classical jurists (almost wholly from authors between 100-250 CE), notably Ulpian (fl. 3rd century CE), one of the last great Roman jurists.
